Spiders, Grubb’s and polymer-powered nanomotors

September 7, 2011 – 6:00 am
  • Spiders, Grubb's and polymer-powered nanomotors - A chemical spider that spins a polymer thread using a simple catalyst could drive a nanomotor, according to researchers at Pennsylvania State University, US. Ayusman Sen and colleagues say that these nanomotors have potential applications in the deposition of polymers within the channels of microdevices for instance.
